And we're those sociopaths in charge ALWAYS sociopaths? Is that why they were drawn to the position to begin with? Or did they start off well-intentioned? Could YOU turn into someone like that if you were elected to a similar position?
Love these questions
There's a ton of research that people drawn to these positions score high on dark triad personality traits. It's definitely them being sociopaths with anti-personality disorder.
Obviously circumstances can turn someone into a psychopath, but that's not what's happening here with people who have a ton of money. They just lack empathy, which is something people tend to have less of the more money they have.
